Sequel Syndrome: The GNOME Project Grows Up

The GNOME 2.0 Desktop & Developer Platform is now widely regarded as GNOME's
best release to date. Two years in the making, it represents a massive
investment in our core technology, and the maturation of the GNOME Project
as a whole.

This talk will cover major software enhancements such as accessibility, the
emphasis on usability and minimalism, and our new developer platform; plus
broader issues such as project management, corporate involvement, and the
changing face of The GNOME Project.

Jeff Waugh is the head beekeeper of the GNOME Release Team, President of the
Sydney Linux User's Group, and was on the organising committee for LCA2001.
In his spare time, he is an IT consultant specialising in Free Software (on
servers *and* desktops). He is especially pleased to see the keen-bean
Perthies take on linux.conf.au, given their drunken enthusiasm for hosting
it way back in 2001.
